“This is the second year we have offered a German program at Maricopa High School, so these students represent our first group with two years of German. I’m very proud of how they performed, and excited to see how the German I students do on their national test in April,” said McKay Jones, MHS German teacher. “We have some really diligent first year students, and I have high expectations for them.”

In its 58th year, the National German Exam was administered to more than 26,000 high school German students around the country, and offers German teachers a means of comparing students with other students nationwide. Students with at least a full year of German who score in the 90th percentile are eligible to apply for a paid summer study trip to Germany. 44 trips were awarded in 2017.
